Weight Training vs. Aerobics for Reducing Fat:

A study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology proves that when it comes to burning fat and building strength, weight training is by far the best and it can't be beat.

30 active men were placed randomly in one of three groups.

The first group of men ran or jogged, the second group of men worked out with weights, and the third group of men combined both, in a cross-training program.

Fitness assessments were taken after the groups had exercised for 10 weeks, three days per week.

Weight lifters increased their base metabolic rate (BMR) (the rate at which ones body burns calories) by more than 6%, while cross trainers increased their BMR by only 4.6%.

When assessing strength gains findings showed similar results. Measured in one rep maxes, resistance-trained men had gains of 24% in bench press and 23% in squat. The cross-trained men made gains of 19% and 12% respectively.

Runners noted significant changes in aerobic power but NO improvement in metabolic rate or strength were found.
